Review: EXCELLENT! DOESN'T SMUDGE SMEAR TRANSFER OR WEAR OFF AFTER IT SETS - Very impressive! I have to say that being 60 yrs old you don't want smudges underneath your eyes. It ages you terribly. This product has several seconds of play time then STAYS ALL DAY LONG without budging. NO racoon eyes, no smearing, no transfer or budging once it sets. Beautiful color and not too harsh while still being dark. Easy to hold, easy to blend in the first few seconds after applying. Very DIFFICULT to wash off with just facial cleanser but that's ok with me. LOVE IT!!
Review: Bold Lines That Stay All Day! - This eyeliner is my new ride-or-die. The essence Stay & Play Gel Eyeliner in Black Raven glides on like butter and delivers rich, jet-black pigment that makes my eyes pop instantly. Whether I’m going for a sleek wing or a smudgy smoky vibe, it holds up beautifully—no smudging, no fading, even after a long day. I love that it’s waterproof and vegan, and the gel-like texture feels super gentle on my lids. It’s not retractable, so you’ll need a sharpener, but that’s a small trade-off for the performance. Plus, it’s cruelty-free and budget-friendly, which makes it a total win in my book. If you want bold definition without the drama of touch-ups, this eyeliner is a must-have. It’s proof that great makeup doesn’t have to come with a high price tag!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smooth, Affordable, and Long-Lasting
*by D***T on May 5, 2025*

I picked up the essence Stay & Play Gel Eyeliner on a whim, and it’s honestly one of the best budget eyeliners I’ve tried. It’s super soft, glides on easily, and stays in place most of the day. Pros: Smooth Application: The gel formula is creamy and easy to apply—no tugging or skipping. Great Pigment: Comes out bold and rich, even in one swipe. Affordable: At this price, it’s a steal—feels like a product twice the cost. Waterline Friendly: Gentle enough to use on the waterline without irritation. Decent Staying Power: Holds up well through most of the day without major smudging. Cons: Needs Sharpening: It’s not a twist-up, so you’ll need a sharpener to keep the tip precise. Can Smudge on Oily Skin: If you have very oily lids, it may fade or smudge after a few hours. Not Waterproof: It’s long-lasting, but not completely waterproof—will fade with heavy sweating or rubbing. Final Thoughts: If you're looking for an eyeliner that’s soft, pigmented, and affordable, this one delivers. It’s perfect for everyday use and easy to apply, especially if you’re in a rush. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a smooth gel liner without spending a fortune.
